Each set also includes a classification card to help identify your creature, and a mini-poster filled with cool quiz questions inspired by real-world science facts. If you haven’t bought the Super Lab set, you can just as easily use a bowl of water or the sink to open your pods, it’ll actually be much quicker although it won’t look nearly as cool.

Kids can use the syringe plungers to dissolve the reactor pods to reveal the beaker creatures hiding within! This real working kids' experiment lab set helps your little scientists build STEM skills with fun experiments inspired by biology, chemistry, and astronomy. The Beaker Creatures Monsterglow Lab also comes with two Beaker Creatures Reactor Pods featuring collectible glow-in-the-dark Monsterglow creatures to add to your Beaker Creatures collection.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.The chamber itself isn’t large enough to place a Reactor Pod inside which is an oversight in my opinion as this would have made the set a lot more useful. There are classification cards that come with each creature as well as information sheets about the worlds that they come from. Beaker Creatures combine the amazement of learning through science with the anticipation of surprise collectibles. Extract them from their reactor pods, using the Liquid Reactor Super Lab, creating a fizzing and bubbling reaction, extract and identify your Beaker Creature using the classification poster.

The pack includes a classification card for each creature to identify them and two mini-posters with science facts and fun images to extend the learning. After our first reaction, as seen in the video below, I was spotting purple flecks up my kitchen tiles.

Head into the lab, pop a Reactor Pod into water and watch it reveal the mysterious Beaker Creature inside.

The Beaker Creatures Reactor Pods are effectively bath bombs containing a plastic capsule inside which is hidden your collectible creature. Joshua loved it for the little creatures he gets to keep at the end, for the fizzing and the bubbling over! He loves watching the colours of the different gels mix together, different textures and watching the bath bombs fizz. However, I discovered a way to keep the Super Lab in use well after we had run out of Reactor Pods by moving the Super Lab to the bathroom where it now lives with our bath toys.

There is also a Whirling Wave Reactor available as well as an official lab coat and goggles for kids who want to dress up whilst playing. The trickiest bit was connecting the rubber tubes at the bottom and making sure they had a good seal – this is important or else the Lab won’t work correctly.
